Hello, SanDiegan!

.

I like SD for the most part. Sometimes it's a bit too dry for me. I'm from the east coast, so I am used to more humid/rainy weather. There is a lot to do here, that is for sure. Some area's are a bit too touristy for me, so I stay away. It's hard for me to get used to the beaches here; the water is cold and the beaches get so crowded in the summertime and it's hard to find a parking spot, which deters me from going to the beach, except to go for a walk and watch the sunset. The terrain and coastline is very picturesque for sure.

Hiya.
Yeah you kind of had me confused, I thought you used to live in SD. Yeah, the places that are now all touristy were old stomping/play grounds so not liking that at all. But the fact I can see the ocean without being close to it is what I love the most and can't tear myself away from. I've always grown up looking at the ocean, not sure how many places you can do that, without actually living near the ocean.
At this point in my life I know that snow and learning how to deal with it isn't for me, heat and humitity I'm not crazy about but I know how to deal with it.

On YouTube you can see how the city has changed over the decades. Even from the 90s there are big differences.

Yes, I moved to SD about 2-years ago, from South Florida, so that was a BIG change for me. I've been to SoCal about 20+ years ago and have seen the change here and growth. I know what you mean about being able to see the ocean here. I've always lived within 10-miles of the ocean, so being near the coast is a big plus for me. You can't get much ocean view in Florida unless you live right on the beach or in a high-rise, as you know. I don't care much for the snow, because I saw enough of that growing up in the Northeast. It's nice that you can go skiing in California, if that is your thing. I'm more of a coastal person.
